His research focuses are coastal engineering, numerical modelling for coastal area, tsunami modelling and disaster preparedness. Dr. Syamsidik has been involved in a number of regional research activities, such as Strengthening Resilience of Coastal and Small Islands Communities towards Hydro-meteorological Hazards and Impacts of Climate Change (StResCOM), funded by UNESCO-Japan Funds-in Trust, Partnership of Enhanced Engagement in Researches (PEER) sponsored by USAID-National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicines (NASEM) of United States (Cycles 3 and 5). Currently, He is a principal investigator for a research in the topic of Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance for Indonesia, funded by LPDP of Ministry of Finance of Indonesia.

Recently, is developing a numerical simulations on tsunami waves impacts on coastal areas. A number of numerical models are used, i.e. Cornell Multi-grid Coupled Tsunami Modell (COMCOT), DUALSPHysic, TUNAMI N2, and OpenFOAM v3.0+. 

Beside the academic activities, there are a number of community activities were/are held. Among those activities he is routinely involed are Coastal Cleaning (Clean-Up) and Coastal Retreat. The two activities are aimed at bringing larger youth communities to be concerned about coastal conservation and coastal ecological preservations, as well as proper documentations of the coasts.
